LED lamps, ready for savings?

LED lamps spend up to 50% less on energy bills compared to energy saving ones and up to 90% less than traditional or halogen ones!

There is a lot of talk about LED and its advantages and today they are so widespread that they can also be bought in non-technological stores, such as neighborhood supermarkets. Unfortunately, as often happens, in this sector too all kinds of sellers were improvised, from the most diligent to the usual speculators who, in order to optimize their revenues, have spent in commercial slogans of all kinds, then discrediting the product accordingly. .

But does LED really save? And how much?

The advantages are different.
Saving in ordinary maintenance, thanks to the long life of the LEDs;
Saving in bills, thanks to the consumption / luminosity ratio produced;
Maximum immediate and non-gradual brightness as for FLC compact fluorescents.

The disadvantages are:
The purchase price of the lamp, which has fallen in recent times, is always higher than traditional lamps;
Not all traditional lamps find a LED product that is perfectly equivalent but sometimes a compromise has to be found.

The advice is to buy a LED lamp instead of a traditional one if you use it frequently and for long periods of time. If you have moved to the purchase from the search for savings, in fact, install an LED instead of a FLC in case of rare use (for example a closet), would not produce the desired effect. However, if instead you replace lamps in lighted environments for several hours a day, such as cooking, certainly the purchase made will help you save money.
To see, however, a significant drop in the bill, at least of the component relating to consumption for lighting, it will be necessary to replace all traditional or FLC lamps with LEDs.

Estimated electric consumption (also depend on the cost of electricity and the type of contract, between hourly, bioraria, etc. as well as, of course, the consumption of each lamp installed):

Given that the cost of electricity is approx 0.25 € / kwh, if we illuminate a room with a 18W FLC lamp for 1 year (24 hours a day = about 8640 hours), we will have an even consumption at approx 155.52 kWh and a cost of approx 38.88 €
With a 9W LED lamp, which produces a brightness similar to the 18W FLC, instead consumption will drop to approx 77.76 kWh and the cost to approx € 19.44

Extending what is the unitary advantage for N lamps of an apartment, the savings that the installation of LEDs will bring to your pockets is soon done.
Remember, however, that the electricity consumption of the bill, also takes into account other factors of consumption (example: home appliances).

Good savings!
